So, tonight we grout.

I'm so pleased all the tiles are now glued down. Tonight will hopefully not take too long, but it will take a big effort.

That said, with Dan on the laundry doors, and us grouting, the place will look amazing!

We move in on Sat, so tonight us our last night; tomorrow is a chrissy function.

I have a few friends who think I only post when I'm sad, so I've installed a simple phone client to my phone to encourage me to post more often.

I think I may go looking for a better one though, from first glance this doesn't do friends only posts, allow me to read posts. Really anything except post publicly. Also, the writing interface seems worse- where are my auto caps??

I am generally a bit tired of things at the moment.

Work - is not feeling terribly useful, interesting or challenging.

Spanish - is hard, and lots of effort for little reward at the moment.

Home - always has cleaning to do.

Home projects - aren't going anywhere as my motivation is LOW.

Exercise - is taking a major back step making me more tired and lethargic (and a fatty bum bum)


However, today I feel quite good. We have cleaned the house, we are going for sushi (I love sushi) and I get to go to silly stores to find presents for a birthday tonight. So really, not bad.

I want to:
Do a home software project to learn new things, but can't really be bothered.
Practice Spanish.
Shave my legs (about to do this)
Kiss Wil more :)

And now, to work!

How did I not notice this awesome store before?

Kathmandu has had a sale on for a while, and finally I got there: found a NICE skirt (which is rare these days) in a FLATTERING design (extremely rare) for $19, down from $90. For someone who doesn't follow fashion and really couldn't care if it's end of season, I am overly pleased with this purchase.

Anyway - I debated over buying a few shirts and jumpers and decided it will have to wait until I'm in Sydney as today, I just didn't have enough time.

Harvey Norman, on the other hand - not so cool. Got some photos developed (2 total) and waited 1.5 hours for them ('in minutes', huh?) and they overexposed one of them. But meh, I really was over it by that stage (maybe that was the plan) and so overexposed photos it will have to be.

Wilson is re-making his server: new machine, new install, new drives...It will be much better for our current setup (who am I kidding - any setup!) and much much quieter - his old server is now permanently OFF and his laptop makes more noise than the new server. I am pleased. We may be able to sit in our lounge room without music playing to hide the continual server noise.

I head to Sydney tomorrow, for the all-too-familiar Grad program routine. However, unlike the others, I'm not going to turn down an opportunity to learn; it seems stupid to me to turn down something that's given to me on a plate. Plus, I get to see my other grad friends, and that's a plus too! *smiles*

My life in a serious of bullet points


  • Wil moved in
  • I got a pay rise
  • Wil is We're looking for a house (I get in trouble for saying otherwise)
  • I gave up on Girl Geeks after never hearing from my grand old friend-who-never calls
  • I gave up on a few friends, with good reason, even though I miss them and uncertain I really wanted to give them up properly - and so tried to mend fences again
  • We have a loud server sitting in the lounge room of my tiny flat
  • I am learning Spanish
  • I am learning Portuguese
  • I am taking a communication course at work, why, I don't know

Life is well, although it's hard sometimes to resolve old conflicts. I'm positive about things though. I think.

So Recently I've been so busy I haven't had time to scratch myself. Which is good and bad. I got sick again last week, and that put me out of whack. I've changed pills, got a backlog of medication just in case I get sick again and am constantly tired. Poor Wilson!

Thinking of Mara the other day and wishing we were still close. But I can't swallow my pride enough to be wrong. Bugger eh. She was all 'what's been happening, what do you mean treatment for Mum omg houses' and I really just felt like saying 'yeah well, catch up with me more often and you might learn something.'

Sigh! Saw Zoe today. Miss her too. I need my friends - I see too much of Wilson's and not enough of any one person. I'm struggling to think of close girlfriends these days and it saddens me.

Have buggered my ankle from Wiluna and it's huge...bit annoying. How do I fix it THIS time? It's strapped this afternoon (I left work early) and I'm resting up. I really just want Wilson home but have to wait another 30 minutes for that (he said 20 but I know better).

So work at the moment has me learning XML parsing, which is a bitch, just quietly! But going ok. If only it would accept my schema...

Did I mention Opeth tonight yet in this post? Whoo, should be fun. I'm looking forward to it, provided I can stay awake! I think I'll buy a bottle of water on entry and take pockets of lollies - that way my sugar intake will be high enough to keep me going...I just have to *not* drink the water too fast...else I'll lose my prime position!

Saw the doctor today because of niggles (still there but oh well) and iron intake worries. Have tests to take on my return from Wiluna.

OH - I should say that I'm madly in love with Wilson and it's all good and rosy and we're going home for the 4th time in 2 months WOW because I feel at home with him and Mum and Dad like him and he's fun to be with for everyone around and it's awesome.
Rob convinced Mariel, Wils and I to go to the Engineers Ball last night at his birthday dinner. So now we're all going to the ball together. Should be good. Suits, dresses, drinkies and then some more drinkies! I want to look HOT of course, which is hard in winter for me but we'll see how I go. Maybe just some decent underwear. I would go buy that black slinky number Mara and I saw the other day but I don't think winter was that kind to my body shape! So - Mara's red awesome dress it might be - I'll bring up Nana's old fake jewellery to go with it...and can you see I'm a tad excited?
So right now I'm sitting in Wilson's apartment, with his sister, listening to Cat Power and waiting for my darling to get home from Curtin so we can go buy me headphones and maybe go see his friends at the Scarbs play a gig. But I doubt it. Just the shopping (because I NEED headphones!).
So - I'm tired, have a sore neck, a twitchy eye, am only just getting better (still) but everything is fricken awesome and I'm happy and I want more time in every day to see friends and walk along the river (which is so cool, if you haven't walked around the Swan DO IT) and be happy.
Work is going well, loads of work though and I may have a twitch from stress though I think it's from my neck/back being out. Wilson isn't that great with massages.
I feel fat today, I think I just drank a lot of coffee - I should probably wash and feel better but I'm finding that writing is very therapeutic for me right now. I don't think I've been allowing my thoughts to get out recently. It's good to do.
So bloody James - I worry if I'm meant to do something about him. But then, what? Meh.
It also scares me a little that Wilson and I have so many long term plans together. It's good, but scary. We're happy and know it and want it t endure and know it will. Oh man I hope I'm not eating my words in a month or two! But then just the fact that I'm making this public is a big thing, right? Heh.
Right now, we're still listening to Cat Power, Jessie is eating the strawberries I bought today and I'm looking out across the Swan (man Wilson is lucky) and I think Wilson should be about to walk through the door. :) Which means it's time to relax a bit more than I am....and I'm really concentrating on doing just that currently, because I don't think I'm doing myself any favours by being uptight and bus all the time. It's just hard when you want to do so much!

I worry I got into shit too early with Wilson. He's awesome - and I think the issue is that I'm very grumpy this week, but still. It will be interesting to see how he handles. He notices, but he handles quite well thus far. Which makes me frustrated but happy. Weird.

Going to see Hancock tonight with Mara, Royce, Lyndon and Zoe and Chris. So rather, going to the SwanCon fundraiser, watching Hancock. Taking Wilson.

So tired. Need rehydration, rest, less work and a massage. Bah.

What an amazing weekend.

Friday we went out with the Matts for drinks, and I stayed in Claremont.

Saturday I had enjo party (good fun surprisingly) and then back around for dinner.

Sunday was a slack day that then saw me meeting two friends, him meeting Mara & Royce, then me meeting his best mates for dinner. Wowo.

It was a taxing weekend, but lots of fun.

Long weekends rock.

I went walking for a number of hours today, and saw Ky - and didn't really feel the need to stay too long. Am talking to Andy right now, and think he's great. Weird. It's interesting to look back sometimes.

I want to cook, but I don't want to, as well....hmm....maybe time for some soup.

Okay, a good post, perhaps?

Mum and Dad are off to Europe this July = cool. 13th July - 14th July. Will be good I think. I have to go home every weekend to check on Fuzz and Arthur. Haha!

Sydney was cool to bond etc and meet a lot of new people. Work stuff = boring so no more on it. *winks* Seeing Cavita was great and we bought pressies for Karen, and I must get them to her sometime.....

Off to Rami's tonight for a party with work people. Could/should be good.

Caught up with Will from YIT whilst in Sydney, which was awesome. More on that later, perhaps, too. Haha. All round an awesome trip, really.
